Background

The International Space Station in an modular engineering marvel, designed and built through a partnership of 16 countries, and assembled IN SPACE. The first module launched to space in 1998. Expedition 1, the first human crew, occupied Station in 2002. We completed assembly in 2001, with the last Space Shuttle flight. Six humans from the partner nations live and work on Station for 6-month missions. The first year-long crew will launch in March, 2015.

Challenge

The International Space Station continuously provides data to ground systems in the form of telemetry. Telemetry is processed at NASA’s Johnson Space Center Mission Operations, where select telemetry is broadcast for public consumption. How in the world will you use this super awesome data stream from space? NASA has many telemetry clients running in Mission Operations centers across the United States, but can you come up with new and interesting ways to maximize usefulness on a real estate constrained mobile screen? Can you think of ways to leverage mobile and web technologies to handle notifications for space events? Create an app or other unique use. The app can be a clever new and innovative way to stretch the limits in the fields of HCI, UI/UX, HTML5 and mobile technologies. Can you think of novel ways to use the telemetry data to keep the public engaged with activities on ISS and other missions? These are just a few ideas as the sky is the limit for this challenge!

Considerations

This challenge is to build on-top of the actual Space Station telemetry data stream. A starter toolkit is now available which will include information on available telemetry (telemetry data dictionary) and sample code on how to connect a thin-client (webpage) to the telemetry backend.

Sample Resources (Participants do not have to use these resources, and NASA in no way endorses any particular entity listed).

My Cube Sat.com

A non-tracking Quadrifilar Helix Antenna (QHA) developed to facilitate a low-cost and an easier mode of capturing small satellite information in a circular polarized manner.

Lost in Space

Simplifying the data from the ISS:
* Showing only what is relevant at each level of zoom
* Separating type of data - points, orientations, scalar values
* Automatically detecting appropriate ranges for each type of data
* Overlaying data on appropriate representation(s) of the ISS Visit Project
